Camavinga opens the great debate

Eduardo Camavinga is going through the best moment of the season at the gates of the grand final of the Champions League in Paris against Liverpool. The 19-year-old French midfielder has made the most of Carlo’s rotation plan Ancelotti after winning the League title and in the thrashing of the already relegated Levante He was once again one of the most outstanding footballers.

Its energy, deployment and rhythm put the Madrid before a Levante practically delivered from the hallway. Modric was in charge of linking up with the forwards (the Croatian signed three assists in just over half an hour) but camavinga supported the scaffolding in the spinal cord. No one made more passes (58), created three scoring chances and recovered 10 balls, displaying his ability to take off.

In front of Levante, camavinga linked his sixth start in the League since he started at the Sánchez Pizjuán, where he was changed at half-time after seeing a premature yellow card. In addition, the Frenchman has shown great ability as a revulsive and was key in the comebacks against PSG in the eighths of the Champions and against him Citywhere he actively participated in two of the three goals for the white team.

The great level shown by the former Rennes contrasts with the gray performance of Toni Kroos. The German midfielder remains indisputable for Carlo Ancelotti but this season is far from the best version of him. At 32 years old, he has lost weight in the white team’s system in favor of a Modric increasingly in tune and his goals and assists figures are at the lowest levels of his career in the Madridwhere he arrived in 2014.

In 42 games this season, he has scored 3 goals and distributed 2 assists. This last figure is striking because he is in charge of executing almost all the white team’s set pieces. In the previous seven seasons, he had never dropped below five assists per course, the 16/17 campaign being the most prolific in that sense with 14 assists.

in the bosom of Madrid The debate of which of the two should be the starter against Liverpool in Paris is already beginning to intensify. Everything indicates that Ancelotti will bet on the experience, packaging and wisdom of a Toni Kroos who is at the gates of his fourth final of the Champions. camavinga, yes, it is postulated as a differential element entering from the bench whatever the context of the match. Fifteen days before the big game, there are not a few voices calling for camavinga as a starter against Liverpool.
